[00:00:00] press conference jointly with the President of the French Republic [00:00:03] Emmanuel Macron from the French territory [00:00:07] of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon where the President of the Republic is on a [00:00:12] discussion with the 3-day visit, he therefore met this Sunday with the [00:00:15] Canadian Prime Minister in a context of [00:00:19] covetousness from Donald Trump in the North Atlantic and we will immediately [00:00:23] return to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon to listen to the Canadian Prime Minister who is speaking again in [00:00:27] French. He shares the same [00:00:30] conviction, the countries at the forefront of [00:00:34] AI, of which France and [00:00:37] Canada are a part, there are [00:00:40] only four, France, Canada, China and the [00:00:43] United States, at the forefront of AI. [00:00:47] We must unite forces to ensure [00:00:50] adequate supervision and [00:00:54] ensure that AI is safe [00:00:57] Sunday in the Africa and effective and under your leadership, Mr. President, [00:01:00] within the framework of the coalition of volunteers for [00:01:03] Ukraine and the efforts to [00:01:06] establish a two-state solution in the [00:01:10] Middle East, we are working hand in [00:01:13] hand to tackle the most important geopolitical [00:01:17] challenges in today's world. [00:01:20] We have strong cultural and [00:01:23] linguistic ties that unite us, and [00:01:27] Canada is proud to host the... summit of La [00:01:30] Francophonie in [00:01:33] Kherson region, a southern region of 2028, [00:01:35] our languages, our cultures and our businesses bring us closer, [00:01:38] and today we will strengthen these ties. [00:01:44] weeks after the triumph of [00:01:53] So that was the Canadian Prime Minister Mark during [00:01:57] a joint press conference with the President of the French Republic [00:02:00] Emmanuel Macron, who is traveling for 3 [00:02:03] days in the French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon in the North [00:02:06] Atlantic. Emmanuel Macron, who [00:02:09] undoubtedly launched a message to Donald Trump, I quote him, [00:02:13] "Our two nations are independent and [00:02:16] want to remain so. We defend strategic [00:02:19] autonomy within the framework of a coalition of independents," he [00:02:23] said, "which we both defend." Antoine [00:02:26] Mariotti, this joint [00:02:30] press conference how to say [00:02:33] inaugurates the definitive rapprochement [00:02:37] between France and Canada, Canada and the EU, we [00:02:40] also saw this week Marc Carnet before the [00:02:44] European Parliament with this status [00:02:47] of associate member of the EU that was [00:02:49] granted to him by Ursula von der Leyen, but [00:02:53] of a coalition of the the rest of the press conference is undoubtedly addressed to [00:02:57] Donald Trump. Yes, very clearly the message is quite clear. You spoke [00:03:00] of the autonomy of sovereignty notably evoked by Emmanuel Macron, [00:03:04] but from the beginning of his speech, the French president spoke of [00:03:08] decision-making autonomy, respect for international law, well, [00:03:11] well, free [00:03:13] this surge of the AfD and fair trade, and decisions made on the [00:03:17] basis of science, in other words, no [00:03:20] manifestation of crazy decisions, once again, we can clearly see where [00:03:24] Emmanuel Macron is looking and where his colleague [00:03:27] Marc Carney is looking. So, very clearly, he has a desire for rapprochement, he has a [00:03:31] desire to tell Donald Trump, you [00:03:33] are not in agreement with the can make all the maps you want with AI [00:03:35] were watching very closely was that of saying that Saint Pierre Miquelon and Canada are the United States, no, it's [00:03:38] Canada, it's France, that's how it's been for centuries and it [00:03:42] will remain so. He also has a desire from the French [00:03:45] president to develop the territory of Saint-Pierre [00:03:49] and Miquelon, which is quite isolated, obviously, which is about twenty kilometers from [00:03:53] Canada but more than 4000 km from the mainland, to [00:03:56] develop the territory where, in particular, the end of cod fishing, for example, this kind of thing [00:04:00] has been very hard for the few thousand inhabitants [00:04:03] of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, the 5800 inhabitants to be [00:04:07] extremely precise, and to develop jobs. And on that, [00:04:10] Emmanuel Macron clearly extended a hand on submarine [00:04:14] cables for fiber optics, on connections, on the space sector. He has a [00:04:17] desire to develop the space sector in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. He also has [00:04:21] a forum that has been announced, a forum for polar research, Canada, France. Not that it creates [00:04:25] jobs, we'll see what that gives exactly, but in any case the first [00:04:28] edition will be held. We don't have the date but in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, so a [00:04:32] desire to dis-enclave, I want to say, a little [00:04:35] Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, which we don't talk about much in mainland France, but which [00:04:39] has an extremely strategic character due to its [00:04:42] location, due to the territorial waters that go with it, according to [00:04:45] Emmanuel Macron, who wants to, both exploit that and develop the [00:04:49] territory for its inhabitants who are in an economic situation that is not always [00:04:53] easy, and in particular, I'll finish there on the climate issue, [00:04:56] since he was talking about the climate issue, he has [00:05:00] climatic issues in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, so he has projects that cost, notably, 25 [00:05:03] million dollars to have to move some people who were too close to the seaside and who [00:05:07] today have homes that are in danger and need to be relocated further [00:05:11] into the center of the island. So... it's really one of the laboratories for this [00:05:15] question because unfortunately climate [00:05:18] refugees will be more and more numerous in the years to come, a [00:05:21] rapprochement therefore between France and Canada and the EU and [00:05:24] Canada which causes, we know, the [00:05:27] dissatisfaction of Donald Trump, yes, well, it doesn't take much [00:05:30] to displease Donald Trump but in this case this rapprochement as [00:05:34] it is clearly a response to Donald Trump's attacks, well [00:05:38] of course he's not taking it well, so he says well if it doesn't bother me I have no problem but if it's [00:05:42] against us, beware, it's going to go badly, we're going to put tariffs everywhere, [00:05:46] I remind you that the Supreme Court had said that it was not quite [00:05:48] legal, Marc Carney very [00:05:52] clearly appreciated this extended hand from von der Leyen, so the President of the European [00:05:55] Commission, who will make him the first associate member of the European Union, [00:05:59] concretely that doesn't mean that Canada becomes a member in the strict sense of the European Union [00:06:03] but it could have a commissioner without having [00:06:06] voting rights, it could have deputies without voting rights [00:06:10] as well, in any case that's what was proposed, notably by Freddy [00:06:13] Schmers, the German Chancellor we were talking about earlier for Ukraine, who [00:06:17] wanted to make him the first associate member of the European [00:06:20] Union, Ursula von der Leyen decided that it would be Canada at a time when [00:06:23] it was necessary to unite forces finally under the diplomatic, [00:06:26] political and economic [00:06:30] onslaught of Donald Trump, the American president. Thank [00:06:33] you very much Antoine for this debrief of the joint [00:06:37] press conference between the Canadian Prime Minister Marc Carney and the [00:06:40] President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron. From Saint-Pierre and [00:06:44] Miquelon, also in the [00:06:47] news this Sunday, of course, the [00:06:50] regional elections [00:06:53] in Germany. Two [00:06:57] the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, the results of the regional elections [00:07:00] in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern [00:07:03] confirm the strong surge of the far-right, [00:07:07] which came in first in Mecklenburg, credited with 37 [00:07:10] to 38% of the votes, one point more than in 2021. The [00:07:14] SPD would be around 36%. The CDU, for its part, [00:07:17] is plummeting; it would be just above 5%. [00:07:20] Another setback for the CDU in the capital Berlin, where it is the [00:07:24] radical left party Die Linke [00:07:27] that wins. Success also for the AfD, which [00:07:30] would reach between 13 and 16% of the votes, compared to 9% [00:07:34] in 2023. Chancellor Mert speaks of [00:07:37] a catastrophe. We will join our correspondent in [00:07:40] Berlin immediately. [00:07:44] Good evening Caroline, these results have [00:07:47] therefore been confirmed since [00:07:51] these partial results that I gave a few [00:07:53] moments ago. [00:07:57] Yes, indeed, the Berlin City Hall that you see behind me will [00:08:01] no longer be led by [00:08:04] a CDU mayor, but certainly by the far [00:08:07] left, Die Linke. The CDU remains [00:08:11] with 20%, it's a less significant defeat than what was [00:08:15] announced in the polls. The AfD [00:08:18] also gained a lot of points with nearly 16% [00:08:21] of the votes. However, in Mecklenburg, [00:08:26] is confirmed. It was an extremely [00:08:29] close head-to-head in recent days with [00:08:32] the socialist candidate. It should be known that the socialists had governed the region [00:08:36] since 1998, and there the far-right doubled [00:08:40] its score to finally come in first place. And as you said [00:08:44] as well, a score that we [00:08:47] the CDU, the party of Friedrich Merz. Would it [00:08:51] manage to cross the 5% threshold? For now, they are credited with [00:08:54] 5.1% of the votes, so we still need to hear the [00:08:58] definitive counts to know if they will be able to enter parliament or [00:09:01] not. And the Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, [00:09:04] Caroline, who spoke of a catastrophe. He says he takes [00:09:08] his responsibilities and promises to continue his reforms. No resignation [00:09:11] then. [00:09:15] Yes, absolutely, he said, this score is a disaster [00:09:19] for his party, it must be admitted, but he spoke a few [00:09:22] minutes after the closing of the polling stations, first and foremost to [00:09:26] put an end to the rumors that had been circulating in recent days, [00:09:30] even weeks, in Germany, about a possible government reshuffle [00:09:33] and a chancellor's resignation. He wanted [00:09:37] to state, he insisted on affirming that he would indeed [00:09:41] remain in his post as head of the CDU [00:09:44] and as chancellor, and says he wants to take his responsibilities. Germany needs [00:09:48] reforms, these are these [00:09:51] reforms for which he asks a lot of firmness and [00:09:54] patience, that's what will allow us to respond [00:09:57] to current problems and current challenges and [00:10:01] not the choice of extremes, so that's what [00:10:04] he wanted to affirm he wanted first and foremost to put an end to [00:10:08] rumors of his potential resignation. [00:10:12] Thank you very much Caroline for these details from [00:10:15] Berlin. Also in the news, [00:10:19] Russia, the 3rd and last day of the parliamentary elections in the country, [00:10:22] marked this Sunday by massive cyberattacks and a rain [00:10:26] of Ukrainian drones. At least two people were killed, about [00:10:29] twenty injured, according to Russian authorities. Whatever the case, the election [00:10:33] has no stakes, the presidential party United Russia is [00:10:36] assured of its victory in the absence of any opposition (Axel [00:10:39] Simon). [00:10:42] According to the mayor of Moscow, it is an unprecedented Ukrainian offensive, [00:10:46] the Russian capital and its region were the target of several hundred Ukrainian [00:10:49] drones, if most were intercepted and shot down, [00:10:52] several escaped the Russian air defense and notably [00:10:56] struck several floors of a residential building in the capital [00:10:59] or this oil refinery, other [00:11:02] devices fell in this residential district of Sofino in the Moscow [00:11:06] region causing casualties and significant [00:11:08] damage. [00:11:12] I was leaving my building, I had taken about twenty steps from the entrance when [00:11:15] the explosion occurred, the windows shattered, people started [00:11:19] screaming, I turned around, the entrance doors had been [00:11:22] blown in. [00:11:33] The massive attack by Ukrainian drones comes in a context [00:11:36] of intensifying fighting on both sides, a series of Russian [00:11:39] strikes on more than 30 sites in the Kyiv region killed several people, including [00:11:43] children, on Saturday and Sunday. This [00:11:46] offensive also comes on the 3rd and last day of voting in Russia and [00:11:50] has been denounced by Russian authorities as aiming to disrupt [00:11:54] the conduct of the election. In the [00:11:58] Ukraine controlled by Russia, a drone notably [00:12:01] killed several people, including an employee of the electoral [00:12:03] commission. More than four and a half years after the start of the full-scale [00:12:07] invasion of Ukraine in 2022, these [00:12:10] legislative elections aim to renew the Duma, the lower house of the Russian [00:12:13] parliament. In a context of repression of all forms [00:12:16] of opposition, they should unsurprisingly result in the victory [00:12:20] of Vladimir Putin's party. And [00:12:23] that's the main international news for this Sunday. Stay with [00:12:27] us on France 24, next update on international news in about [00:12:30] twenty minutes. [00:12:47] Hello and welcome to Face to Face on France 24, our guest this [00:12:50] week is Simone Ehivet Gbagbo, she is the president of the Capable Generations [00:12:54] movement, she is the former first lady of Côte d'Ivoire, you [00:12:58] are in Paris for the first time in many years, thank you very much for [00:13:01] granting us this interview, thank you, thank you for having me [00:13:05] so we will start with the news in Côte d'Ivoire, the [00:13:08] Public Prosecutor announced this Wednesday, September 16, an arrest warrant [00:13:12] against Habiba Touré, she is the spokesperson for the former president, your [00:13:16] ex-husband, Laurent Gbagbo, she is accused [00:13:19] of being involved in post-election violence in [00:13:23] 2025, last year. [00:13:25] The previous week, another close associate of Laurent Gbagbo, Justin Koné [00:13:29] Katinan, had been arrested, placed under a committal order for [00:13:32] similar charges, your reaction to [00:13:36] that, but you know, uh, I [00:13:39] am always very attentive to [00:13:42] the [00:13:45] democracy in the country, [00:13:48] democracy is also the right [00:13:51] for certain people to say what they think. [00:13:55] Even if they [00:13:58] power that governs the country [00:14:01] and each time there are arrests of this [00:14:05] kind, the atmosphere deteriorates [00:14:08] and I regret it very much, I would have preferred that there would be no more arrests [00:14:12] after the elections or [00:14:15] during the elections, we had nearly 100 [00:14:19] 500 people arrested who are still in prison [00:14:23] these are political prisoners. Political [00:14:26] uh [00:14:28] we can blame them for whatever we want but these are political prisoners and [00:14:31] when the elections were over I wished that [00:14:34] the issue would be [00:14:38] settled and that these prisoners would be [00:14:41] released, they don't do it and then they keep [00:14:45] arresting, it's a shame. [00:14:48] So last year, we did an interview together shortly before the [00:14:51] elections and you told me that I should call you Madame [00:14:55] President, you only gathered 2.4% [00:14:58] of the votes, then you did not have any deputies [00:15:01] elected during the legislative elections, how do you [00:15:04] explain this failure? Well, [00:15:08] the first thing I could say is that when you go to [00:15:11] elections, it's always to win, that's why I told you, [00:15:15] I'm going to win, I can win, and you knew [00:15:19] it wasn't possible, oh I knew it was going to be [00:15:22] difficult, for a certain number of reasons. [00:15:25] Uh, there were things that we had wished to see [00:15:29] uh reformed before the [00:15:32] elections, we did not get the reforms, [00:15:36] even the electoral lists. We had contested the way the [00:15:39] electoral lists were finalized, we did not [00:15:42] also receive a response on this level, [00:15:46] we had asked for a [00:15:49] government, we did not get that either, [00:15:52] and so things went on, [00:15:56] we went to these elections because in [00:15:59] principle we believe that there must be [00:16:02] several candidates when there are [00:16:04] elections. [00:16:07] You don't regret having gone with such a score, [00:16:10] oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, the score, that's another thing, [00:16:14] it's another thing, a disappointment anyway, of course it's a very big [00:16:18] disappointment, especially since participating in a [00:16:21] presidential election campaign is hard, [00:16:24] even physically it's [00:16:28] a score it is important that it [00:16:32] strikes and it hurts. [00:16:35] Now, I prefer not to debate [00:16:39] too much about [00:16:42] this score. [00:16:45] Did Ivorians not turn out to vote? [00:16:48] So you talked about the grievances [00:16:52] you had against the government, the Independent Electoral [00:16:55] Commission (CEI) was dissolved last May. For [00:16:59] now we don't know what will replace it. You [00:17:02] put a proposal on the table [00:17:05] to avoid all controversies, all [00:17:08] polemics, a kind of high electoral council that would be [00:17:12] apolitical. Do you think that's the solution [00:17:15] and especially that it's the solution that will be adopted by [00:17:19] the executive? I can't say what [00:17:22] the executive will do, I hear [00:17:26] rumors, the rumors I hear are [00:17:29] against the proposals I [00:17:32] made, but I stand by my proposals, I believe that [00:17:35] today if we want to have good [00:17:39] elections with the confidence of the voters [00:17:42] that the voters come out to [00:17:45] vote, it is absolutely necessary that [00:17:48] in the body that presides over the [00:17:52] preparation of all elections in our country, there are no longer any [00:17:55] representatives of political parties and that there are no longer [00:17:59] any representatives of the [00:18:01] government, these are the two things that are the [00:18:05] basis of our exit. chance, but you think that's not the path [00:18:09] that will be adopted uh we continue to [00:18:13] fight and that's why I also [00:18:16] visited other political parties so [00:18:20] that they can agree on a proposal [00:18:23] to make to the government. So precisely, before the [00:18:26] presidential election of October last year, you were at the origin [00:18:31] opposition, including with the PDCI, but well, it didn't [00:18:34] work, notably because... the [00:18:38] party of your ex-husband, the PPACI, did not join [00:18:41] it. So now, on September 1st, you went [00:18:45] to the headquarters of this PPACI, [00:18:48] with other left-wing leaders, to [00:18:51] talk, I imagine, about this subject and others, about the [00:18:54] formation of a coalition. Do you really think that [00:18:58] hope is there, that this coalition will [00:19:02] really succeed when it failed last year? Well, you see, it did, it did [00:19:05] a written, concrete [00:19:09] proposal that can be examined by all. We [00:19:13] sent this proposal to all parties, [00:19:16] including the RHDP, the ruling party, [00:19:19] the ruling party, and well, uh, now we are [00:19:23] discussing, uh, a certain number of parties, we are [00:19:27] discussing and we wished [00:19:30] that the PPACI would join us in [00:19:33] this discussion, that's why we went to meet the [00:19:36] PPACI at its headquarters and discuss with its [00:19:40] leaders, the president was not there, but he was [00:19:44] represented by really [00:19:47] high-ranking personalities [00:19:50] of the PPACI party who [00:19:54] received our proposal and who are [00:19:57] discussing with us. We also visited the PDCI, [00:20:01] who also received [00:20:04] our proposal and who is also discussing with [00:20:07] us. The DCI, which is the party [00:20:11] led by Mr. Assalé Tiemoko, is also [00:20:14] with us leading this discussion. We [00:20:17] have several proposals on the [00:20:21] table, there is ours which is the first, but there are [00:20:24] two other proposals that are also on the table and [00:20:28] that we are currently processing to have a common position, [00:20:31] so you say Laurent Gbagbo was not present, have [00:20:35] you not spoken to him about this [00:20:39] rapprochement, do you no longer communicate since his [00:20:42] return? We remember that those were rather humiliating images for [00:20:45] you. Yes, well, because he rather dismissed you with that wave of the [00:20:49] hand, exactly. The past remains the past. [00:20:52] Today, I believe that we must move forward. Did you speak [00:20:56] to him? That was my question about that. Uh, to [00:20:59] him directly, no, but that's not necessary. We send [00:21:02] a letter, we send the letter, and then the party replies. [00:21:06] Uh, we sent the letter, we sent it with [00:21:10] our text, and the party replied, [00:21:12] "We are ready to listen to you, we [00:21:16] want to hear you, we wish you, we propose that [00:21:20] we meet on such a date," and so on, it happens. Uh, you are in France, [00:21:23] notably to, I was going to say, mobilize your party a little. Is [00:21:27] it because we also heard that there have been resignations here and there, [00:21:30] do you feel that this is a difficult [00:21:34] moment and that the survival of your party is at stake right [00:21:37] now? No, absolutely not, absolutely not. Uh, when we [00:21:41] finished the presidential elections, when we finished the [00:21:45] legislative elections, we stopped [00:21:48] to take stock of all this work, [00:21:52] of all this activity, and we had already decided to [00:21:55] restructure the party a little, and we [00:21:59] were in the middle of restructuring the party when [00:22:02] these resignations came about, but [00:22:06] already for several years, comrades from [00:22:09] France and Europe had suggested that I [00:22:12] come and talk with them, [00:22:16] share with them, and it is in this context that I am here. So [00:22:20] we are going to officially [00:22:23] install our leaders, we are going [00:22:27] to invest them, we are going to discuss the work [00:22:30] program a little, and that's it. Are [00:22:33] you ready again to be a candidate in a future presidential [00:22:36] election, or has what happened last time, which was hard as you said [00:22:40] earlier, vaccinated you against that? You should never [00:22:44] be vaccinated against something when what [00:22:47] you are looking for is positive for the [00:22:51] nation. What I wish is that the [00:22:54] Ivorian nation be completely transformed. So you [00:22:58] are not ruling out a new candidacy? [00:23:01] We'll see, it's a bit early to talk about it, but we'll see. So [00:23:05] you are in France, it's been since [00:23:08] the events of 2010, 2011, you had [00:23:12] not set foot in France since [00:23:15] 2007 or 2008. [00:23:19] Yes. It's, I imagine, a gesture for you because [00:23:22] obviously there were those events, we remember, you [00:23:26] said it on this microphone, on France 24, 6 years ago, you [00:23:30] accused the French army of not not having [00:23:32] protected you against attempted [00:23:35] rapes during your arrest in [00:23:38] 2011, I imagine that you maintain these statements, [00:23:42] but that this visit still has a symbolic [00:23:44] charge, [00:23:47] uh what happened in 2011. At the time of [00:23:51] my arrest, it was something very serious, [00:23:54] uh, I was attacked, uh, I even [00:23:58] had people who tried to even [00:24:02] lay me down, to rape me and all, [00:24:05] but the observation I made at the time, I had talked about it, [00:24:09] is that the French army was there, and the French were [00:24:12] there with cameras filming, [00:24:15] they didn't lift a finger to help anyone [00:24:19] among us, they were there in front of [00:24:22] the French embassy, they were [00:24:26] there, just the [00:24:29] presidential residence, well, uh [00:24:32] today, uh I come back first [00:24:36] for my fellow activists with whom [00:24:40] I will work, discuss, and [00:24:43] then, well, I will still meet friends who have been in [00:24:47] politics or who are in politics in France, I... I [00:24:50] will meet them, uh, have you [00:24:54] forgiven France? Oh [00:24:57] yes, oh yes, you [00:25:01] know, I wrote it in my book, uh, when [00:25:04] I was in prison in Audien, I was led to [00:25:07] forgive President Alassane [00:25:09] Ouattara, so why would I forgive [00:25:12] him and not forgive France? [00:25:15] Simon, thank you very much [00:25:19] for answering France 24's questions on the occasion of this [00:25:22] symbolic trip, and thank you for watching this [00:25:26] program on our channels.
